Premiership – Chelsea vs Liverpool Betting Preview

Jose Mourinho is heading into this game with a huge amount of pressure on him as Chelsea have now lost four of their last six matches and people are saying that another loss here could mean that this will be his last game in charge. Chelsea’s underperfomace so far this season has been highlighted by a few players, Eden Hazard who is yet to score a single goal this season, Nemanja Matic who has already received two red cards and was subbed off in the same game he was subbed on as well as Branislav Ivanovic who has failed to keep a clean sheet in all the matches he has been involved in.

Chelsea have a tough task here to get the win that they desperately need as they are playing a Liverpool side that may not be playing fantastic football but they are now unbeaten in ten matches. They have looked strong defensively under Jurgen Klopp and Christian Benteke in this match can cause Chelsea’s back-four a few problems.

Jurgen Klopp said that their win over Bournemouth in the week was another step in the right direction and they would love to build on that with a win over the Champions but I’m sure that he would be happy with another draw in this match. He will want to see more from the players going forward which could see a change to the team as Roberto Firmino performed well in that mid-week victory.

Liverpool have also won just one game in their last five matches but with four draws making up the remaining fixtures that means they are unbeaten in five. They have been pretty strong defensively since Jurgen Klopp took over as Manager but going forward they have looked poor, Klopp will be hoping that Benteke can be the difference in this game.

Chelsea Team News:

Chelsea’s main concern going into this game will lie with Diego Costa after suffering an injury to his ribs, reportedly he is desperate to play in this game but Loic Remy is expected to replace him upfront for Chelsea. Ivanovic will be missing for this match due to his ongoing hamstring problem whilst Matic will return after serving his one-match ban.

Liverpool Team News:

Liverpool are expected to give Benteke his first start in nine matches after having problems with fitness levels and Milner will return after serving his one-match ban against Bournemouth. It will be interesting to see who Klopp will start in midfield in this match as Roberto Firmino claimed man of the match in the week and will be pushing for a place in the starting XI.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Average Goals Per Game Statistics

And in the 81 meetings that have taken place in London there has been 220 goals scored meaning that there has been an average goals per game of 2.72.

Both sets of data suggest that the game on Saturday afternoon should see a minimum of two goals scored.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Free Sports Bets, Tips & Predictions

I am expecting a tight game here because whilst Liverpool have been very organised and solid defensively under Jurgen Klopp, they have lacked a goal-scoring threat going forward and I think that Chelsea will set-up to stifle them in this game. My banker in this one is for Chelsea to not score in the 1st half and this is because Jurgen Klopp has got Liverpool playing a high-pressure system which works early on when the players aren’t fatigued and it should be enough to stop a Chelsea side that have failed to score in the first half in all of their last four matches.

As for my saver, it is difficult to see either team winning this match as both teams are desperate not to lose the match and neither have looked hugely threatening to an opponents goal in recent matches. Other options I was looking at for my saver were Willian to score anytime as it could be one of his free-kicks that breaks the deadlock in this match or Christian Benteke as he will be Liverpool’s focal point in this match.
